Spread the spinach and artichoke filling using a spoon or small spatula to spread it out evenly onto each piece of chicken breast.
Place the dish into the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes until the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit on a kitchen thermometer or the center of the chicken is no longer pink when cut. Let the artichoke chicken rest in the for 5 minutes before plating onto a serving tray or individual plates.
